Prototype and pilot trials of an automated XY stage with software for low cost, modifiable, automated microscopy to benefit healthcare, research and the community

该项目涉及一个创新的低成本计算显微镜系统的原型，使用商品组件并提供一个开放的软件框架。它将以更低的价格提供自动显微镜，从而帮助NHS、医学研究人员和社区团体。这将减少运送医疗样本的摩托车快递员的数量，从而有助于保护环境。它将提供一个平台，让用户可以自己修改软件，而无需回到供应商那里，从而实现创新的医学研究。

The project concerns prototyping an innovative low-cost computational microscopy system, using commodity components and providing an open software framework. It will help the NHS, medical researchers and community groups by making automated microscopes available at a much lower price point. It will help the environment by reducing the number of motorcycle couriers with medical samples. It will enable innovative medical research by providing a platform where users can modify the software themselves, without going back to the vendors.
